CAREER: New Metal Catalyzed Reactions for Trans-Alkynevinylation

有了这个职业奖，化学催化计划支持教授丹尼尔A。锡拉丘兹大学化学系的克拉克说。 克拉克教授开发了新的催化方法，用于炔的甲硅烷基乙烯基化。 本研究的第一个目的是利用丰富的化学原料乙烯作为偶联伙伴来制备含有二烯的高度取代的环状化合物。 乙烯的作用上的立体化学结果的硅乙烯基化的炔仔细检查。 第二个目标探讨了使用乙烯基硼酸酯作为耦合伙伴与炔，以创建更复杂的系统。 这种方法可能会消除废物流，因为不需要对起始材料进行预官能化。 预计拟议研究的成功实施将对有机化学和农业化学，制药和材料工业领域产生积极影响。 职业奖还为教育项目提供支持;特别是为锡拉丘兹和北锡拉丘兹公立学校的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育工作者开设讲习班。 克拉克教授的计划的目标是提供可以在课堂环境中由K-12教师实施的讲座材料和化学实验。 克拉克教授的计划符合锡拉丘兹大学（SU）的愿景，题为：奖学金在行动，从SU持续参与社区的承诺。

With this CAREER Award, the Chemical Catalysis Program supports the research of Professor Daniel A. Clark of the Department of Chemistry at Syracuse University. Professor Clark develops new catalytic methods for the silylvinylation of alkynes. The first objective of this research is to utilize ethylene, an abundant chemical feedstock, as a coupling partner to produce highly substituted cyclic compounds that contain a diene. The role of ethylene on the stereochemical outcome of silylvinylation of alkynes is carefully examined. The second objective explores the use of vinylboronates as coupling partners with alkynes to create more complex systems. This approach is likely to eliminate waste streams as no pre-functionalization of starting materials is required. The successful implementation of the proposed research is expected to positively impact the fields of organic chemistry and agrochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and the materials industry. The CAREER award also provides support for educational programs; specifically, the creation of workshops for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) educators in the Syracuse and North Syracuse public schools. The goal of Professor Clark's program is to offer access to lecture materials and chemical experiments that can be implemented in a classroom environment by K-12 teachers. Professor Clark's program is in line with the vision of Syracuse University (SU) entitled: Scholarship in Action, a commitment from SU to sustained community engagement.
